This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!

Children in Church

by Dianne

A little boy was attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asked him, "How many women can a man marry?" "Sixteen," the boy responded. His cousin was amazed that he had an answer so quickly. "How do you know that?" "Easy," the little boy said. "All you have to do is add it up, like the pastor said, 4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer."

After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, "Mom, I've decided to become a minister when I grow up." "That's okay with us, but what made you decide that?" "Well," said the little boy, "I have to go to church on Sunday anyway, And I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen."

A 6-year-old was overheard reciting the Lord's Prayer at a church service, "And forgive us our trash passes, as we forgive those who passed trash against us."

A boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon. "How do you know what to say?" he asked. "Why, God tells me." "Oh, then why do you keep
crossing things out?"

A little girl became restless as the preacher's sermon dragged on and on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?"

Ms. Terri asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories. She was puzzled by Kyle's picture, which showed four people on an airplane. She asked him which story it was meant to represent. "The Flight to Egypt," was his reply. Pointing at each figure, Ms. Terri said, "That must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. But who's the fourth person?" "Oh, that's Pontius - the pilot!"

The Sunday School Teacher asks, "Now, Johnny, tell me frankly do you say prayers before eating?" "No ma'am," little Johnny replies, I don't have to. My mom is a good cook."

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally she spoke up, "Grandpa, did God make you?" "Yes, sweetheart," he answered, "God made me a long time ago." "Oh," she paused, "Grandpa, did God make me too?" "Yes, indeed, honey," he said, "God made you just a little while ago." Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he ?"

Dianne, you sinful woman, when are you going home :) Nothing like your own personal shower and comfortable car :)

JL, 6:30 am is waaaay too early for this owl!! Allergies suck! js

Barb,are you "perkier" today?

I reached a milestone for me today! I walked over 10,000 steps, almost 4 miles! Hurt like crazy, but I was determined to do it! I was watching a Dr on PBS. He said we should walk that much every day,,, no excuses! He explained how he had a patient in a wheel chair who said she could never do it. Well, he said, "can you walk to the bathroom?" she said "yes". Well, he continued. here is a pedometer let me know how many steps you are walking. Next visit she said 45 steps. He asked her to add a few steps every day. She did. and she advanced to a walker, then no walking assist at all! I was ashamed at myself for being lazy and decided I was going to reach my goal everyday,,, no excuses!I have been walking 5,000 steps, so I knew I could do it :) Yay me lol!!

SacBarb, are you talking to yourself lol!I am going to brag just one more time, I promise! Another 10,000 steps today :) I have to admit I didn't think I would make it. My stubbornness kept me going lol!

I was beautiful in Mich today, but I see the cold crap is coming back :(Spring is just a few days away. Mother Nature better straighten up!Where is everyone?

I'm here and going back to Denver tomorrow night. I'm ready. The sun finally came out today and then it was kind of hot.,,,rain again tomorrow. I've been in snow, an ice storm, rain that didn't stop all day, and three days of sun all in two weeks. That's quite a weather forecast!!

Louis has had another relapse and is still sick. He's on his second round of antibiotics and sounds horrible. I'm nervous about the germs going home.

Jodi. Hope you had a fun weekend. Glad you are back safely.

Wow JL 6:30 AM!!!!! That's way too early for breakfast. How long does it take you to go "over the hill"? I'm at my friends and they turn in about 8:30-9:00 at night so I've been in my room pretty early each night. They get up early and I still sleep in each day.

Barb, how did you like DWTS tonight? I watched some but I really don't know the people. Maybe I'll watch again next week.

Mary, great with your walking. I'm really impressed with all those steps in a day. I'm really going to try and get on my recumbent bike when I get home. Louis has been doing some walking. He said he heard a saying that there are fat people and old people but no old fat people so he's going to work on it....actually, he said "we can work on it".

I mailed a box to myself today so my suitcase won't be so heavy. I didn't buy a lot but I did get drapes that I don't want to be all mashed when I get there.

MARY - We had a fun weekend! Did a little driving around on Saturday. She showed me a beautiful cemetery with a quaint little chapel, went to Sublette for a tractor toy show, and to the fire hydrant that was a 20 foot ice formation. On Saturday night we went to see Burn 'n Bush, but the place was packed!!! Stayed for 1 beer and got he heck outta there. Ended up drinking at home with Savana and a couple of her friends!

Best get prettied up for work. I feel pretty good about yesterday. No upper management in the store while I was there, but got out of stocks, cigarette count and my coffee order done. I also fixed and re-submitted the books that were done incorrectly on Sunday. BAM!!! I hope Milissa will give me the time I need to show Jessica what she has been doing wrong.
